Tickets are selling fast for the 3rd Annual Currie Beer and Curry Festival, to be held at the Gibson Craig Hall on Friday 13th and Saturday 14th June. There are a few tickets available for Friday 13th June – and the Saturday has sold out!

The organisers are delighted to announce that Sort My PC, the local IT support company, have agreed to act as main backer for the event, and many local businesses and trades-people are sponsoring barrels of beer. Ross Henderson, sponsorship co-ordinator, said: “This is fantastic, and we are grateful to Sort My PC for their generous sponsorship. The more sponsors we get, the more money is available for good causes and community events, and it’s great to see local businesses helping to support the Beer Festival.”

For £120 a beer barrel sponsor receives two free tickets to the event (worth £20 each), their logo emblazoned on their barrel, their company details listed on the Festival Facebook page with a link to their website, and the opportunity to distribute business cards at the festival.

All proceeds from the Beer Festival go to supporting charities, good causes and community events, and tickets and sponsorship packages can be purchased online at www.cbdrt.com.

Meanwhile, Round Table business continues. Members at their AGM in April heard that the organisation had distributed over £11,000 to good causes during the year – all made possible through the efforts of Round Table volunteers and supporters, and the generosity of local people. Four more organisations benefited this month from Round Table awards: Harlaw Monday Club, The Octagon Club, Nether Currie Mother and Toddler Group and Mindroom.
